10 treaties the U.S. hasn't ratified

A month of negotiations on the Arms Trade Treaty, which would regulate the flow of weapons between countries — wraps up Friday in New York. But the NRA’s fierce opposition is expected to dissuade the Senate from ratifying it. Here are 10 other international treaties the U.S. hasn't ratified.

Moon Treaty — 17 parties ratified

The Moon Treaty, formally called the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, was finalized in 1979. It gives the United Nations legal jurisdiction over the moon, prevents nations from using it for military purposes and prevents any nation from claiming the moon as its own. The United States hasn't signed it — and neither has any other nation with a major space program, rendering it moot.
